As I mentioned, the Capt. was a highly trained, extremely experienced
ex-military pilot whom had undergone chamber training so no matter
how insidious, he undoubtedly knew how to recognize the telltale
symptoms of hypoxia (e.g: degraded vision, lightheadedness,
discoloration of the fingernails and lips, etc.) AFAIK, it remains a
mystery as to precisely what happened on that incredibly strange day
in 1999.


Gee...this makes no sense to me, mind you I know very little
about the Lear 35 but isn't there any indications of the cabin
altitude built into the pressurization controller?, Or do you
suppose that two experienced pilots would just ignore their cabin
altitude?, doesn't compute to me.

What you say about hypoxia effects aren't noticeable by the
victim, an observer (not so affected) may see some however.
You should try a 'chambre ride' sometime, quite surprising.
